She Is His Only Need (Live) [2024]

[Intro] Thank you for comin' to this celebration tonight Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh These songs mean a lot to me And for all of you who have been there since the beginninng of time, I cannot thank you enough [Verse 1] Billy was a small-town loner Who did dream of ever leavin' southern Arizona Or ever hearin' weddin' bells ring He never had a lot of luck with the ladies But he sure had a lot of good workin' skills Never cared about climbin' any ladder He knew the way in a small café He found the will [Verse 2] He mеt Miss Bonnie and a little bit of her was a littlе too much A few movies and a few months later, the feelings got strong enough They didn't own a car, so it must have been love That drove 'em uptown for that diamond And that's when he started goin' [Chorus] Over the line, workin' overtime To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve 'em But he loved her and he just kept goin' overboard Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she wanted 'Cause without her, where would he be? You see, it's not for him, she is his only need [Verse 3] Ring on her finger and one on the ladder A new promotion every now and then Bonnie worked until she couldn't tie her apron Then she stayed at home and had the first of two children My, how the times did fly The babies grew up and they moved away Left 'em sittin' on the front porch rockin' And Billy watchin' Bonnie's hair turn gray [Verse 4] And every once in a while, you could see him get up and he'd head downtown 'Cause he'd heard about somethin' she wanted and it just had to be found Didn't matter how simple or how much, it was love And boy, ain't that love just somethin' When it's strong enough to keep a man goin'? [Chorus] Over the line, he's workin' overtime To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve 'em But he loved her and he just kept goin' overboard Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she wanted 'Cause without her, where would he be? You see, it's not for him, no, she is his only need [Outro] Over the line, workin' overtime Oh yeah She is his only need His only need Overboard, over the limit It was just for her She is his only need His only need Thanks to you, that was my first number one record
